HMS Boyne was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford Dockyard on 21 May 1692.^[1]

She was rebuilt to the 1706 Establishment at Blackwall, mounting her guns on three instead of her original two gundecks, though she was still classified as a third rate. She was relaunched from Blackwall on 26 March 1708.^[2] Her second rebuild took place at Deptford, where she was reconstructed according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and relaunched on 28 May 1739.^[3]

Boyne was broken up in 1763.^[3]
